College Planning Service, LLC is a welcome resource for families who recognize that they need more individual attention than a school counselor may have time to provide.

As a trained and experienced consultant, I:

  • identify the "hidden gems," excellent but lesser known colleges that are respected for high academic standards and their focus on students
  • reassure parents and students, helping defuse parent-teenager tensions that often arise during the college admissions process
